The team works closely with business, engineering experts, and external partners. Together, we design how people learn, grow, and develop in a global environment.

You will work closely with engineering teams, factories, and the Global Material Repository (GMR) to translate technical standards into practical competencies and development paths.
From skills mapping to training and certification, you will ensure consistency, clarity, and real impact across regions.

You will also use PLM Windchill as a key reference point, making sure that all learning content and competency frameworks are aligned with approved materials data and documentation.
All of this will happen within TrafoSchool — our global setup for building engineering capabilities and driving structured development at scale.

• Training & Certification Coordination
  Plan and execute training and certifications in line with TrafoSchool standards. Track completion and readiness.
• Monitoring & Governance
  Track KPIs on competencies, training, and certification coverage. Report gaps, risks, and improvements while supporting local execution.
